A sample of the bogus economy of the last
Congress was the refusal to appropriate money
to sheath with copper the bottom of the new
steel vessels. This neglect insures fine crop
of barnacles on every boat, once in SIX months,
inevitably causes loss of speed and renders
necessary the docking of the vessel twice a
year. The first cost of the copper sheathing is
pretty heavy, but it pays IN the long run. If
the new vessels are to be really swift cruisers
this improvement must be ordered.
The formal challenge of Mr.. Bell to the New
York Yacht Club for the Americas Cup has
now been received. and will doubtless be for
mally accepted tonight Another information
al race in these waters this tall thus becomes
an assured fact. 1t will be under the con-
ditiOns Of the Genesta and Galaiea contests,
but it promises to be much closer and more ex-
citing. The English have made up their minds
to win that cup. TO keep it here will tax the
energies and skill of American yachtsmen to
the utmost.
The good people of Railway, Nj, are great
ly excited over the murder committed there
last Friday night, but, at the same time they
are not sufficiently moved to propose liberal

This is regrettable, for unless enough money is
offered to make hard work agreeable, no skill
full detective is likely to give the crime ade-
quate attention. The reward of $500 pro-
claimed by the Governor is certainly not suffi-
cient. How badly some good detective work is
needed in the case is shown by the bunging
performances perpetrated SO far by Railway
cOnstables.
The Mayor has stirred up the Health and the
Street Cleaning departments TO some effect.
Commissioner Coleman now announces that the
ashes and garbage of the Nineteenth Precinct
(the old Twenty-ninth) will hereafter be re-
moved between midnight and a m. and that
where it is possible the rcceptaclcs must be
sct in areas instead of on the sidewalk. Some
doubts are expressed as TO the feasibility OF this
plan but there is no good reason why 1T
should not succeed perfectly. 1t will need
supervision, of course, and require tie services
of ashmen who know enough to dump ashes
in the carts instead of on the pave
ments. But those are conditions easily
fulfilled, and if the Mayor persists in making
things uncomfortable in the departments
until the street cleaning system of the city
iseerfected, he will deserve the thanks of the
community even though he accomplishes moth
ing else in the course of his administration.
The Salisbury Government in England have
promulgated their Coercion bill in the
House of Commons 1t abolishes trial by jury
in Ireland, giving to magistrates power to In
Aict maximum penalty Of six months lmpris-
onment for offences such as bOycotting con-
spiracy, riOting and the like, or melting TO the
same. In grave cases, of murder or arson, it
provides for a change of venue to England.
The law will have no time limit and Will be
applicable only in districts proclaimed by the
VicerOy. THIS is not SO severe measure
Of repression as some former bills have been,
and doubtless will win the UniOnists support.
Much of Its weakness lies IN the fact that the
Government will not be able to show by con-
yincing evidence that coercion in Ireland is
needed at all. Mr. BalfOur tried to justify it
last night. and failed utterly in the matter OF
ststistics of crime. Under these circumstances
the oct will arouse all the worst passions OF
